Less binge, more purge

About a month ago we began the tedious task of organizing and purging our home of useless junk. We began with a remodel of our home office which required clearing the room entirely. I HIGHLY recommend this if you are serious about ridding yourself of items you don't need. It is not easy to clean out a room completely of all of its furniture and bric-a-brac...so when the time comes to put things back and make the room look fantastic, the last thing you want to do is re-clutter the room with all the junk you just removed! It really forces you to look at all the items that go back in and make sure that they are needed in the room and not just there to take up space or collect dust.
This weekend we will be doing the same for our children's bedroom. It's amazing what we have found stored so far...things we thought we got rid of, or things we thought we needed to buy but we really have 3.
Since this was a personal goal for me this year, it really has been nice to finally begin to carry it out. It has been difficult to find the time to truly purge and organize, but the end results thus far have been well worth it.

Yes...I'm still alive...barely.

I realize that I have not written a post in quite a while now. Life is crazy and keeps getting worse...but in a good way these days. This just doesn't leave a lot of time for activities such as writing on the old blog. I'm hoping to be back up to writing very soon. Crazy things still happen around here; now I just need to find the time to put it all down in words.
